| Terms for subject Environment (5582 entries) |
| beta radiation (Name given to the ionizing radiation which is produced as a stream of high speed electrons emitted by certain types of radioactive substance when they decay. The intensity of radiation energy produced in human tissue by a beta particle is a hundred times less than that produced by an alpha radiation particle, but it travels slightly deeper into tissue) | radiació beta | |
| beverage (Any one of various liquids for drinking, usually excluding water) | beguda | |
| beverage industry | indústria de les begudes | |
| bibliographic information (Data pertaining to the history, physical description, comparison, and classification of books and other works) | informació bibliogràfica | |
| bibliographic information system (A coordinated assemblage of people, devices or other resources organized for the exchange of data pertaining to the history, physical description, comparison, and classification of books and other works) | sistema d'informació bibliogràfica | |
| bibliography (A complete or selective listing of documents by a given subject, author or publisher, often including the description and identification of the editions, dates of issue, titles, authorship, publishers or other written materials) | bibligorafia | |
| bicycle (A vehicle with two wheels in tandem, pedals connected to the rear wheel by a chain, handlebars for steering, and a saddlelike seat) | bicicleta | |
| big game (Large wild animals that weigh typically more than 30 lb when fully grown, hunted for food, sport or profit) | daina grossa | |
| bilateral convention (An international agreement, especially one dealing with a specific matter, involving two or both sides, factions, or the like) | conveni bilateral | |
| bilge oil (Waste oil that accumulates, usually in small quantities, inside the lower spaces of a ship, just inside the shell plating, and usually mixed with larger quantities of water) | oli de sentina | |
| bilge water (Water that builds up in the bottom of a ship's bilge) | aigua de sentina | |
| bio-availability (The extent to which a drug or other substance is taken up by a specific tissue or organ after administration) | disponibilitat biològica | |
| bioaccumulation (1. The accumulation of pollutants in living organisms by direct adsorption or through food chains. 2. Accumulation by an organism of materials that are not an essential component or nutrient of that organism. Usually it refers to the accumulation of metals, but it can apply to bioaccumulation of persistent synthetic substances such as organochlorine compounds. Many organisms, such as plants, fungi and bacteria, will accumulate metals when grown in solutions containing them. The process can be employed usefully as a purification process to remove toxic heavy metals from waste water and contaminated land) | bioacumulació | |
| bioaccumulative pollutant (Pollutants that become concentrated in living organisms through the consumption of food or water) | contaminant bioacumulatiu | |
| biochemical method (Method based on the utilisation of a biochemical mechanism, e.g. any chemical reaction or series of reactions, usually enzyme catalysed, which produces a given physiological effect in a living organism) | mètode bioquímic | |
| biochemical oxygen demand (The amount of oxygen used for biochemical oxidation by a unit volume of water at a given temperature and for a given time. BOD is an index of the degree of organic pollution in water) | demanda bioquímica d'oxigen | |
| biochemical process (Chemical processes occurring in living organisms) | procés bioquímic | |
| biochemical substance (Chemical substances that occur in animals, microorganisms, and plants) | substància bioquímica | |
| biochemistry (The study of chemical substances occurring in living organisms and the reactions and methods for identifying these substances) | bioquímica | |
| biocide (A diverse group of poisonous substance including preservatives, insecticides, disinfectants and pesticides used for the control of organisms that are harmful to human or animal health or that cause damage to natural or manufactured products) | biocida |
